Ingredients
Method
- Preheat the air fryer to 350°F while you prepare the apple pie bombs.
- Cut each biscuit in half horizontally to create 16 thinner rounds and set them on a clean work surface.
- In a small bowl, combine the diced apple pie filling, ground cinnamon, and 1 tsp of the apple pie spice, stirring until the apples are evenly coated.
- Working with one biscuit piece at a time, gently flatten it in your hand into a 3 to 4 inch round.
- Place about 1 tbsp of the apple filling mixture in the center of the flattened biscuit round.
- Pull the edges of the dough up and over the filling and pinch firmly to seal all seams so no filling is exposed.
- Roll the sealed dough gently between your hands to form a smooth ball and place it seam side down on a plate; repeat with the remaining dough and filling.
- In a shallow bowl, stir together the granulated sugar and remaining 2 tsp apple pie spice.
- Place the melted butter in a separate shallow bowl.
- Dip each sealed dough ball into the melted butter, allowing the excess to drip off, then roll it in the sugar mixture until completely coated.
- Arrange the coated apple pie bombs in a single layer in the preheated air fryer basket, leaving a little space between each for air circulation.
- Air fry for 7 to 9 minutes at 350°F until the bombs are puffed and a deep golden brown, with slight bubbling at any small seams.
- Carefully remove the apple pie bombs from the air fryer and let them cool on a rack or plate for at least 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
- Dice the apple pie filling into small, pea size pieces so it tucks into the dough easily and does not burst through during cooking.
- If the dough feels too sticky while sealing, very lightly flour your fingers, but avoid adding too much or the seams may not hold.
- For extra flavor, drizzle the warm pie bombs with a light glaze made from powdered sugar and milk, or a sugar free alternative if needed.
- These taste best fresh, but leftovers can be cooled completely and stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days; reheat in the air fryer at 320°F for 3 to 4 minutes.
